Condesa / con-DESS-ah
Sure, Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world, but most of the adventures in this trip will likely be in two or three boroughs and six or eight colonias, or neighborhoods, in the center of the city. La Condesa is the neighborhood where the apartment is, and it will be important to know this when you’re getting cabs or Ubers.
La Condesa is the hip, trendy neighborhood of Mexico City, one of the centers of recent Mexican gentrification, and home to up and coming restaurants, cafes, art galleries, and a pair of beautiful parks that bookend the apartment — Parque México and Parque España. Because of the rise of gentrification in the area, there’s a lot of interesting and unique international businesses.
